Zhongli Ruoshui pursed his lips, took another piece of osmanthus cake from the food box, and took a big bite, "Cheng Guogong wants to propose marriage to me for his son... You know that guy, I kept taking it in Kyoto back then.

He treats me as a brother, and now he actually wants to sleep with me!"

"My father doesn't want to offend Duke Cheng's government. What can I do?"

"After much thought, I came up with no idea. It was Shen Qiaodie, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, who gave me the idea to let the Guangling talents know before Cheng Guogong arrived from Kyoto... You see, the effect is pretty good!"

Zhongli Ruoshui, a talented woman from Ning State, doesn't look like a talented woman at all at this moment.

Her pretty face had a proud look, her cheeks were still bulging, she looked more like a girl with a wild temper.

Ning Chuchu didn't find it strange, because in private Zhongli Ruoshui had an eccentric temperament.

What she found strange was the girl named Shen Qiaodie.

"Who is Shen Qiaodie?"

"Oh, the daughter of Guangling grain merchant Shen Qianshan...she is both talented and beautiful, but unfortunately her life is not good either."

"What's a bad idea?"

"It's not like she blames her father!"

Zhongli Ruoshui was indignant and said: "Her father made a marriage arrangement for her, a baby's marriage, and the other party is the Li family... It is the Li family where the father and son have seven Jinshis and three women. Unfortunately, he is not the son of Li Wenhou, the current Minister of Household Affairs.

, but the son of Li Wenhan, the dean of Zhuxia Academy in Guangling City."

"Isn't this great? After all, I come from a scholarly family, so how can I be worthy of being the daughter of a merchant?"...

"You don't know, right? Li Wenhan's son is named Li Chen'an. Not only does this guy not have the bookish aura of the Li family, but... How should I put it? Although the people in Guangling City say that he is a fool, it is a bit much.

This man is indeed an extremely ordinary person. I heard that he has been kicked out of his home and is now in a dilapidated situation."

"That's indeed a mistake, Miss Shen."

Ning Chuchu had no interest in this matter and did not continue the topic.

She suddenly leaned over and said to Zhongli Ruoshui mysteriously: "I met a young man just now, and he casually responded to this couplet you wrote. I thought it was very good after hearing it. Do you want to listen to it?"

"How does it look like?"

"He is quite handsome, but the key is the temperament he exudes... How should I put it? He is seventeen or eighteen years old, but he has the maturity of a seventy or eighty year old... Well, I can't say he is mature.

, somewhat opaque.”

"You don't know either?"

"Well, I didn't expose him either."

"Okay, people like this are interesting, not as superficial as that kid from the Cheng family! What's his couplet like?"

"Listen carefully!"

Ning Chuchu cleared her throat and recited the couplet very carefully:

"If you have dust in your eyes, the world is narrow, but if you have nothing in your mind, the bed will be as wide as your bed."

"What do you think?"

Zhongli Ruoshui pondered for a moment and his eyes lit up:

"...As a guest of honor, where are the others?"
